Plot

The film opens following two American high school acquaintances a few years after graduation now suffering from deep anger and anguish because they are not as successful as they hoped to be. Hancock (Jason Gedrick) is the high school basketball star who gets into college on an athletic scholarship only to lose the scholarship to a better player. Unable to succeed in college based on his academic merit, he returns to his hometown, becomes a police officer and is slowly moving into a middle-class mediocrity with his cheerleader girlfriend, Mary, who is in college and plans to major in the arts. Hancock is still stewing over the fact that he is no longer the sports star and that his girlfriend is not only reluctant to marry him but may end up being more successful than he.

Song overview

The songs on this album are tied together firmly by the theme of success and how to deal with it, and reflections on American society and how that shapes our goals in life.

The album opens with "9.28 a.m.", a musique concrète sequence put together by drummer Scott Rockenfield. The band wanted to have a cool intro that was cinematic and moody, and Rockenfield was given complete freedom to make something. Rockenfield went out to record natural sounds using a portable ADATtape recorder, which he sent through a rack of effects in his apartment and started designing his own sound effects out of it. Some of the recorded sounds also appear on other tracks on the record, such as the sound of a train on "Disconnected". "9.28 a.m." follows a soul from death through the ether into a reincarnation, and rebirth, followed by the sound of a crying baby. The title refers to the time Rockenfield was born.

Promised Land

I hate the world but you defend them and be aegis for allI shut the door but you make hole on the their wallAll I want to do is make you to see what they are trying to beThe awful truth behind what you call it realityYou hate the world and I will, I will kill them allYou shut the door and I w ill burn down the hallAll I want to do is make you to see what they are trying to beThe awful truth behind what you call it realityI'd serve the order of graceI'd serve the chaos of their flamesThey both the same, no differences at allAnd there's no promised land, no promised land to goNo turning back without an explanationStop violating creationWho keep the will to kill inside
